Occupy Wall Street did not come from nowhere. It was part of a long
history of riot, revolt, uprising, and sometimes even revolution
that has shaped New York City. From the earliest European
colonization to the present, New Yorkers have been revolting. Hard
hitting, revealing, and insightful, Revolting New York tells the
story of New York's evolution through revolution, a story of
near-continuous popular (and sometimes not-so-popular) uprising.
Richly illustrated with more than ninety historical and
contemporary images, historical maps, and maps drawn especially for
the book, Revolting New York provides the first comprehensive
account of the historical geography of revolt in New York, from the
earliest uprisings of the Munsee against the Dutch occupation of
Manhattan in the seventeenth century to the Black Lives Matter
movement and the unrest of the Trump era. Through this rich
narrative, editors Neil Smith and Don Mitchell reveal a continuous,
if varied and punctuated, history of rebellion in New York that is
as vital as the more standard histories of formal politics,
planning, economic growth, and restructuring that largely define
our consciousness of New York's story.
